In my opinion, the best entry in the franchise, this game stands very high in my all-time favorites. Not nearly as world-expanding as the previous, not as mechanically satisfying as the next, but the goldilocks of the roleplaying and combat formula this series is known for. I still have so many vivid memories of the crew members both new and old, and this is the best example in the series of just killing time on the ship between missions, spending as long as you can exhausting dialogue trees in the hopes you find one new nugget of detail for these fully-fleshed-out characters. Hard to find a flaw, but I will say it is frustrating to have a cheap death in the very end if you didn't happen to know the right upgrades to buy or sequence of events to follow that can sour an otherwise perfect playthrough.
